Main Article Content
Abstract
Breast reconstructive surgery, a pivotal aspect of breast cancer management, has witnessed considerable advancements over the years. Flaps, in particular, have become an indispensable tool in this field. This bibliographic review explores the epidemiology, significance, theoretical framework, encompassing definition, risk factors, complications, and management of flaps in breast reconstructive surgery. The discussion delves into emerging techniques and sheds light on the future of this critical aspect of surgical practice.
